Welcome to Lifting, Running & Living! You may know us from our individual podcasts - Multifaceted Athlete with Coaching Klutz and Help Me Understand - and now we've joined forces. Honestly, we've done so many episodes together that it only made sense to start a new pod together. As coaches in the fitness space and two humans who love movement (running for Kelly, strength for JK), every episode will contain some element of fitness, plus a variety of other topics we're seeing, dealing with or hearing about. Join us every other Friday for chit chat, tangents & lots of laughing.
